Gated neighborhood at the foot of Pleasanton Ridge
The Golden Eagle neighborhood in Pleasanton is protected by many things. For one, the security booth at the entrance to the gated community, as well as the towering, forested ridge that neighbors its opposite side. “The foothills on the west side also make it attractive,” says Diego Cardoso, a Realtor with Keller Williams Tri-Valley. “There is a lot of nature around. Lots of trees and redwoods that make the air quality better.” Two sprawling country club golf courses envelop its southeastern side, adding to its green surroundings and allowing residents access to more than one prestigious community.
This exclusive neighborhood boasts high-end homes, private trails, and a peaceful atmosphere.
Elegant estates in Golden Eagle feature spacious layouts and beautifully landscaped yards.

Tennis, swimming and security with the Golden Eagle Association
Single-level new traditional homes with upscale stone touches generally range between $1.8 million and $2 million and belong to the Golden Eagle Estates association. Homeowners association fees hover around $400 and cover security, landscaping and access to the community pool, clubhouse and tennis courts. Larger estates with more unique architecture on between up to 2 acres fetch between $3.75 million and $4 million. Their sprawling lots include luxury amenities like in-ground pools, lighted basketball courts and outdoor kitchens. “Pleasanton is one of the hottest markets in the area, and Golden Eagle is one of its crown jewel neighborhoods,” Cardoso says. “There’s not much inventory, and only a couple of houses sell a year, so there’s that exclusivity to it.”
Gated privacy and elegant home designs make Golden Eagle a premier Pleasanton neighborhood.
Golden Eagle Association offers residents exclusive tennis courts, swimming, and gated security.

Native vegetation along Augustin Bernal Park’s trails
The Longview Trail starts in the neighborhood and continues into the surrounding 237-acre Augustin Bernal Park, though parkgoers will need proof of city residency to access the green space for free. Hiking trails lead to views of Mount Diablo and the Livermore-Amador Valley, while others are designed for equestrian use and downhill mountain biking. The absence of grazing animals on the park’s ridge has allowed native species like California fescue and wildflowers like Baby Blue Eyes, Chinese Houses and Shooting Stars to spring up alongside trails. Nearby Fawn Hills Park is a smaller green space with a playground and a basketball court. Membership at the Club at Castlewood includes access to two golf courses, tennis courts, fitness centers, an aquatic complex and an active community that gets together at regular socials, mixers and events.
Golden Eagle residents often spot wild turkeys while exploring Augustin Bernal Park’s scenic trails.
